The Department of City Planning, Transportation
Division, is running a Red Hook Transportation Study. This study
seeks to improve the neighborhood’s transportation network and bolster its
resiliency in the face of future weather events. Everyone is invited to
the kick-off meeting on the evening of September 17 at the Miccio Community
Center in Red Hook. This will be a participatory meeting where they seek input
from community members.
